Topic: Promised Land - Bluegrass Maybe?

"Promised Land"                          (maybe bluegrass?)

Everything's A Hang Up, You're Too Beautiful To Show
So They'll Scintillate The Fabric, Photograph You Through Your Clothes
Rings Of Truth Self Integrating, Help Protect You From Your Mind
Smoke Out Secret Slinking Slime Bags... Slurping's Rude!  You Will Be Fined!

All The Fail Safe Explanations For What Has And Will Transpire,
Subtle Sinuous Suggestions Writhing Slowly Out Of Mire...

The Wisest Folks I've Ever Known That Loved Me
They Picked Their Fights; They Only Fought To Kill,
Their Own Narcissistic Grandeur Choking Out Their Own Free Will.

I Ain't No Moses Looking For The Promised Land.
My Promised Land Is How I Love And Who I Am.

If My Body's Just A Vessel And My Minds Some Lump Of Clay
Singing Any Song For Sixpence Just As Long As I Get Paid...
Then I'll Contribute My Illusions Heightening Overall Confusion,
Patching Cracks And Covering Tells With Their Rhymes Of Law To Sell:

    "Now The Fourier Transforming Wavelength Guided Will...
    Self Assemble In The Bedroom - We'll Authenticate, You Fill,
    All Your Needs As We Direct You.  Flip The 'Telly Learn The Way"

No Reality Inflicted On Your Psycho Active Gaze...

I Ain't No Moses Looking For The Promised Land
My Promised Land Is How I Love And Who I Am

Baby You're My Favorite Hang Up, And I'd Love To Lend A Hand
Flip The Telly', Grab The Shovel. Let's Dig Our Promised Land
Baby You're My Favorite Hang Up, And I'd Love To Lend A Hand
Let Me Flip The Telly', Let's Dig Our Promised Land

Embrace what you love.
Start with you.
Do the next right thing.

Re: Promised Land - Bluegrass Maybe?

Hi unhhuh,

I like the energy in this. Not sure what all of it means, but I'm getting the drift.

BTW I like your use of half rhymes ( show - clothes , land - am ) - it makes the lyric more conversational.

Re: Promised Land - Bluegrass Maybe?

Generally I only do the blow by blow for my baby... but hey just for fun, what's the harm in a little blow by blow between forum members right?

Fourth Line:
The Absurdity Of It All...

Fifth and Sixth Lines: (2nd Paragraph)
A suggestion that "things" may not be what they are represented to be...

3rd Paragraph:
Changing The World By Changing Yourself...

Refrain:
Wherever You Go, There You Are... Happiness is an inside job, blah, blah, blah...

Fifth Paragraph:
I've sold myself on a lot of things, bought in enough to pay attention, believe that aroma of bull scented sheets sells the populace on banning bulls...

Sixth Paragraph: (Quoted)
Instructions on how to live a happy life, brought to you today, by whomever happens to be in charge of the programming you happen to be watching while trying to find some satisfaction in the sack... I'll have what the gentleman on the television set is having... (psychosis induced decision making?)

Refrain:
Wherever You Go, There You Are... Happiness is an inside job, blah, blah, blah...

Last Paragraph:
Let's get right on down to it... what matters to me is love and life with all I love, and that doesn't include whatever flavor of processed pedantic peer reviewed properly pronounced pablum they're selling on the conglomerates bailout broadcasts...

Baby we don't need their "personal poo" to make our garden grow...

Sincerely,

Unh Huh
